This spell is a little aggravating. Chivalry is a easy cheap way to put a few skill points on a template to get a few nice spells with the big advantage it gives a way to recall. I'm about at 55 skill and still fail too many times at sacred journey which is a min of 15 skill. It doesn't seem any other magic has such a high fail rate with such a large difference in skill points. I got 40 more skill pts that what is required. Could you imagine having 80 magery and fail a ton at 4th circle. I think I would be ok with a fizzle here and there but some times I'm like jeez. I have a human character that actually doesn't have to attempt too many more times than my character with 55. My human character is just using the 20 jack of all trades skill.
Other chivalry skills that have higher minimums have a lot less failures such as divine fury. I rarely fizzle it, but will on occasion but that is fine. Why have sacred journey have such a high failure rate? Why not just set the skill min to like 40.
I have Chiv in the 80s for now and constantly fail at Enemy-of-One (minimum skill is 40 or 45).
I'll probably dial Chivalry back to the 60s once I raise Bushido - I have no use for Noble Sacrifice (my Healing is nearly 105) as it usually gets me killed.
If you're just looking to get around and play a samp I think I remember wraith form can no fail cast recall?
Yeah wraith form, and that is an option. But I was kinda liking enemy of one and divine fury even though its dmg increase is considered item dmg increase so Im close to 100 even without fury but it does add hit chance and refresh stamina. Also, consecrate weapon is nice too in order to maximize dmg output.
I dialed mine back to 55. Because noble sac is almost worthless. It would be cool to cast in the middle of several folks who are getting mobbed cause it supposed to heal, cure, and rez an area but afterwards if a mongbat sneezes on you you're dead. Also, if the mob is that bad then you definitely dying after it.
Nice number crunching guys.
So, sounds like you should have 60 to 65 chivalry for a decent chance of sacred journey. The OP is correct, he does not have enough to reach an acceptable % success rate for himself.
Could make a jewel with +15 chiv and put it on for traveling.
One of my guys has 95% LRC when his book is knocked out of his hand. The failures come when he needs that G Heal. Sure seems to fail more than 5 of 100 casts. RNG is all over UO.
Ya that per reagent is interesting and they check it for failure... Not that it is something I thought I need to know. But explains why G Heal fails because it takes 4. So 4 chances to fail when cast. UO loves their RNG and sticks it everywhere.
Im stilla bit old school with reagents. In some instances if my suit is just a little below 100% LRC, I'll just carry like 40 of each reagent which basically lasts a good long while. But I did not know the check was for each reagent.
I have a crystal ball of knowledge and will hook it up to see what it says. I'm also ok with spells fizzling but a basic recall with what seems a pretty large skill level above min is a bit annoying.
